I want to revise my claim of "nothing inherently wrong with a having lists like that".

This is not just a simple list of software with summaries, and after looking at it more it's worse than I thought. And you're right about propagating bad/out of date advice being a problem.

> I always feel people who put together these lists are in a competition to list as many products and cover as many areas as possible, without evaluation.

Unfortunately this seems to be the quickest and easiest way to get the most attention. Proper curation takes lots of effort, and is hard to get noticed by people who don't know any better.
